Abstract
Microbial inoculants such as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with biocontrol activity provide an environmentally friendly and promising strategy for plant and stress protection. For application in desert ecosystems, specific, drought-resistant strains are required. Therefore, we selected promising candidates from one of the most popular organic desert farms, Sekem in Egypt, using a hierarchical screening procedure. Isolates were characterised by their anti-phytopathogenic potential towards fungi
